The name "Jezer" means "formation" or "imagination," which may reflect the characteristics or aspirations of this family group. In the context of <a href="/numbers/26.htm">Numbers 26</a>, the census is being taken to prepare for the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. The Jezerites, as part of the tribe of Manasseh, would later receive their inheritance on both sides of the Jordan River, with a significant portion east of the Jordan. This allocation is significant as it shows the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the land. The Jezerites' presence in the census underscores the continuity of God's covenant with the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<p><b>and the Shillemite clan from Shillem</b><br>The Shillemite clan is another sub-clan within the tribe of Manasseh. The name "Shillem" is thought to mean "recompense" or "peace," which could indicate the clan's role or reputation within the tribe. The mention of the Shillemites in the census highlights the importance of family lineage and inheritance in Israelite society. This clan, like the Jezerites, would have been part of the larger tribal allotment in the Promised Land. The division of land among the tribes, including the Shillemites, is a key aspect of the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs. The careful recording of these clans in the census reflects the importance of maintaining tribal and familial identities, which were crucial for the social and religious structure of ancient Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jezer.htm">Jezer</a></b><br>A descendant of Naphtali, Jezer is the progenitor of the Jezerite clan.
